Oil Painting Flowers Using Dynamic Shapes

Artist James Sulkowski found that flower paintings helped him to embrace an important compositional element: dynamic action. The Baroque period of the 17th century brought about a focus on movement and the discovery of sweeping diagonals as well as the S-shape tool.
Sulkowski found this approach appealing in flower painting.

Applying these ideas, a bouquet of flowers becomes a spherical shape, or an egg shape, or even an S-shape; and although the individual flowers are important, each is subordinate to a larger shape, concept or idea.
